Not Following Father’s Wishes

Born in 1944 in California, Sam Elliott was the son of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service worker. Sam’s father, Henry, was not a big fan of Sam’s dream to become an actor. At the age of 9, Sam already knew that he wanted to act for a living, but Henry didn’t think that was a good career path. The ensuing rift would impair their relationship and define much of Sam’s mentality in the future.
